Pakistan’s Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has dismissed a recent statement claiming the death of former Prime Minister Imran Khan in judicial custody as “fake,” urging the public to reject such irresponsible behavior. The ministry responded after an undated statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had circulated on Saturday, claiming that Khan had passed away while in custody. The statement added that the circumstances surrounding his death were under investigation.

The fake press release, which appeared official, also included a call for national calm, stating that Pakistan’s government upheld the sanctity of life and the rule of law. It emphasized the government’s commitment to a transparent inquiry into the incident, working closely with the United Nations’ human rights bodies and independent observers. The statement reiterated Pakistan’s dedication to safeguarding human rights, particularly in custodial situations.

In response to the hoax, Pakistan’s Ministry of Information took swift action to clarify the misinformation and called on the public to disregard the false claims.

Khan’s Party Seeks Immediate Release Amid Health Concerns

Simultaneously, Khan’s political party, Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI), has moved the Islamabad High Court to secure his release from detention. The application, filed by Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Ali Amin, argued that Khan’s prolonged detention posed significant risks to his health, especially considering the ongoing tensions with India. The PTI has expressed concerns for Khan’s well-being, citing his deteriorating health due to the politically motivated nature of his detention.

In addition to health concerns, the party highlighted the risk of a drone attack on Adiala Jail, where Khan is currently held. The party has requested that he be granted parole or probation for the sake of national harmony, solidarity, and his safety during these turbulent times.

Amin also claimed that Khan had not violated any prison regulations and further emphasized that his continued imprisonment violated his basic rights. The application to the court argued that the Constitution of Pakistan allows for parole in exceptional cases, and Khan’s current detention was a violation of this legal provision.

Khan’s supporters and legal team have called for justice, highlighting the adverse effects of his detention on his health and calling for his immediate release to prevent further complications.

While the country remains in political turmoil, the situation surrounding Imran Khan’s health and well-being continues to stir significant public and political debate. The government and judiciary are under pressure to respond to the ongoing concerns raised by Khan’s supporters and political allies.
